OpenDocs to Produce Yellow Dog Linux Book Loveland, CO -- 7 November 2000 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the leading developer of Linux solutions for PowerPC(TM) microprocessors, has announced a collaborate effort with OpenDocs Publishing to produce a 300+ page book for Terra Soft's next release, Yellow Dog Linux 2.0. The book will include the much anticipated (and long awaited) PowerPC Linux distribution Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 (slated to ship mid-December) which introduces a consistent graphical installer and maintenance environment. "We have been wanting to write something of this caliber to compliment our Linux distribution. OpenDocs' professional work with us is perfectly timed ... an excellent launch for Yellow Dog Linux 2.0," stated Kai Staats, CEO of Terra Soft Solutions, Inc. OpenDocs initiated work on the book last week and expects to have a shipping product by the beginning of February 2001. Similar in content to an introductory-level book about Red Hat Linux, the YDL 2.0 book will cover all of the bases with a focus on the PowerPC advantages and features. "This is going to be fun. The Terra Soft staff are enthusiastic and very supportive. We expect this book to offer a unique flavor and maintain a Terra Soft look-n-feel. Yes, you can expect a dog theme in addition to screen shots and well written text," states Josh Drake, co-founder of OpenDocs. Terra Soft will be replacing their shrink-wrapped CDs, Book, and Binder products (CS0902/12) that have been available through resellers with the YDL 2.0 book which will include both the Install and Tasty Morsels CDs. The book will be available direct from Terra Soft's website, through resellers, and through local and national book sellers.
